(-5)/(11)=(5b-4)/(2b+12)

\frac{- 5}{11} = \frac{5 b - 4}{2 b + 12}

b = - \frac{16}{65}

Decimal Notation

b = - 0.24615 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{- 5}{11} = \frac{5 b - 4}{2 b + 12}

Cross multiply

- 10 b - 60 = 55 b - 44

Move

60

to the right side

- 10 b = 55 b + 16

Move

55 b

to the left side

- 65 b = 16

Divide both sides by

- 65

b = - \frac{16}{65}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

b = - 6

Combine undefined points with solutions:

b = - \frac{16}{65}

\frac{x ^{2} + 3}{4 x} = \frac{1}{4}

6 \frac{m}{( m + 222 )} \cdot 100 = 10, m

\frac{( x - 1 )}{( x - 2 )} + \frac{( x - 2 )}{( x - 1 )} = \frac{5}{2}

\frac{( 9 x + 7 )}{2 - ( x - \frac{( x - 2 )}{7} )} = - 36

\frac{n !}{( n - 2 ) !} = 506
